The Met Office said: "Christmas is only at the beginning of the period when it's likely to snow. We are more likely to see snow between January and March than in December with snow or sleet falling an average 3.9 days in December, compared to 5.3 days in January, 5.6 days in February and 4.2 days in March.

"White Christmases were more frequent in the 18th and 19th centuries, even more so before the change of calendar in 1752 which effectively brought Christmas day back by 12 days.

"Climate change has also brought higher average temperatures over land and sea and this generally reduced the chances of a white Christmas.

"Northern England and Northern Ireland will be hit the worst with rain over the next few days, with Scotland staying mostly dry and bright."
